Abstract
The radical ring-opening reactions of cyclopropyl ketones, mediated by samarium (II) iodide and other electron transfer agents are described . This strategy allows tandem rearrangement cyclisation reactions and the trapping of the resultant samarium (III) enolates by a variety of electrophiles, for the construction of complex bicyclic systems.
